OK, well not exactly stock photography (no business guys standing in
front of Venetian blinds, for example). But 10,000 of my images are
online and I make them available to publishers, kids doing school
projects, people who want to have a polar bear as their screen
background, et al.

Under the Hood
The underlying RDBMS is Oracle 8.1.6 with its built-in Intermedia Text
search option. Jin Choi and I were able to build this entire site in
about an hour (in Tcl code written for the AOLserver API). To learn
more about building pages like this start at two of our free online
textbooks:
Software Engineering for Internet
Applications (new, dry)
and
Philip and Alex's Guide
to Web Publishing (old, embarrassingly optimistic).
